China Passenger Vehicles Lubricants Market Trends

Largest Segment By Product Type : Engine Oils

  • In China, among all product types, engine oils accounted for a share of 80.17% of the total passenger vehicle (PV) lubricant demand during 2020. During 2015-2019, the overall engine oil consumption increased at a CAGR of 7.95% due to a rise in travel rates of the domestic passenger vehicle fleet.
  • During 2020, PV engine oil consumption recorded a growth rate of 1.42%, while grease recorded negative growth of 6.26%. This negative trend in grease demand was majorly due to COVID-19 restrictions, which considerably reduced vehicle use and greater service requirements for greases.
  • Over the forecast period, the transmission oil segment is likely to be the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 7.5%. The growing demand for vehicles with automatic transmission systems is projected to drive the demand for transmission oils in the country over the coming years.
